The rear-most cover/lid is currently loose. It's just sitting there over the top of the batteries.

I think I will have it bolted down on the outside edges, with a main center portion hinged. That way, it doesn't jiggle around, but the batteries are still easy to access.

When it's all done, the plywood will be covered with carpet. I think that looks nicer as an interior than paint does. Also, the interior car body panels will be reinstalled as well.

I'm sure I will work some plexiglass into this as well....
